Piz Cristallina

Piz Cristallina rises to 3,128 meters in elevation between the Swiss cantons of Grisons and Ticino, featuring steep rocky slopes and alpine meadows.

The mountain has been a focal point for Swiss mountaineering expeditions since the early days of Alpine exploration in the nineteenth century.

Local mountain guides share knowledge of traditional climbing routes through generations, maintaining the regional mountaineering heritage of the Lepontine Alps.

The Cristallina mountain hut provides overnight accommodation and meals for climbers at 2,397 meters, located northwest of the main summit.

The mountain contains geological formations that reveal the tectonic processes responsible for creating the central Swiss Alps over millions of years.
